To all whom t may concern: j

Be4 it known that I, ANDREW BAILEY, of

Jefferson, in the county of Ashtabula. and

lState of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Double Semicircular Piston Force and Suction Metallic Pump, and that the following is a full and exact description, reference being `had to the annexed` drawings fof the same, making part of this specification.

First, I make a perpendicular metallic cylinder A, about 9 inches inlength and 4t `in diameter, with a box 3.1i 'inches in` diameter,- divided by ya partition B Figures 3,4, 5, f1 inch thick, making two bores C C Fig. of a semicircular shape 11gin.` by Begin.

nearly. Two horizontal cylindrical tubes D D 3 in. in diameter project at right angles from the cylinder-one at the bottom the other inch below the upper end of the cylinder. These tubes project in a parallel line with the edge of the partition in the cylinder. These tubes are dividedperpendicularly by the extending of the partition B of the cylinder into them. The partition of the cylinder extends outward into these tubes 1-5 in. and divides the whole box into two equal semicircular apertures E E Figs. 2, 5. On the opposite side of the cylinder are two other cylindrical tubes F F Figs. 1, 4, 5 projecting 2gin. in a parallel line with the partition in the cylinder and in a line with the first mentioned tubes. The bore of these tubes is the same size as in the others. The partition of the cylinder extends in these tubes only i in. and is increased to double its thickness when it enters these tubes as at G Fig. 5. A shoulder I-I of one fourth of an inch is left on the inside of these tubes even with the end of the partition for the valves I I to shut back against.

2nd. The cylinder is capped with a metal cap in. thick and screwed in at the top, or otherwise fastened in. A piece of cork in. thick is attached to the under side of the metal to keepit tight. The bottom of the cylinder is also closed. In the outward end of the first mentioned tube are inserted metallic plates S Fig. 2 in. thick with two semi-circular apertures, of the same shape as the bores in the tubes. The rim of these plates is E; in. thick and the partition across them is el in. thick; they are inserted 1n such a manner that the partition of the plates stands perpendicularly to and immediately corresponding with the partition in `the tubes. The apertures in these plates are the places through which the water enters the pump and are called receiving openings. Y l

3rd. On the partition'of these plates are fastened the valves K K K K to the receiving openings. These valves Open inward and shut against the plates.` The valves are made of leather. A round piece of `leather of the size of the bore of the tubes is fastened across its center tothe partition of the plates; onthe inner side of the leather are attached semi-circular pieces `of metal 5,- in. thick, and just small enough to pre- `vent their rubbing against the side of the ltubes;` these pieces are to keep thefleather ,Tin its proper shape and place. In the ap- `ertures of the op-posite or stopping tubes are valves I I made in the sameinanner, ibut these are fastened to the end G of the .partition B of the tube. These open outward from the cylinder and"shut` back against shoulders on the inside of the tube as mentioned above. These two last valves are called stopping valves for the sake of distinction. The ends of these tubes are closed tight by caps, F.

4th. A metallic pipe L with a bore of l inch in diameter connects the. two stopping valves standing perpendicularly about of an inch from the cylinder; there are holes in the tubes corresponding with the bore of the pipe. From the topA of the upper tube this pipe extends upward as high as the water is designed to be raised. This is the pipe through which the water is raised and is soldered on to the tubes strongly. The top of this pipe branches into two parts; one branch is bent over so that its mouth is downwardV and is de' signed for ordinary use. A screw is cut on the outside of the pipe at the end for the purpose of screwing on a cap, hose, or stopper. The upright branch P is designed for throwing water upward; it has a screw cut on the end in the manner similar to the other and designed for the same purposes--it is designed for the purpose als` of an engine-One branch should be stopped while the other is in use.

5th.Two metallic pistons M M in. in diameter are fitted to work in the semicircular bores in the cylindery near the top; on the lower end of each of these pistons is a semi-circular cork stopper 1 inch thick;

on each side of the cork is aiiixed apiece of sheet-iron of the same shape as the cork, Vbut a little smaller, so that it shall not rub on the sides of the cylinder when it passes up and down. When one of these pistons passes down it forces the water through the two lower apertures of the stopping valves and when it rises up it forces the water through the apertures of the upper stopping valves and into the pipe, the opposite receiving valves being at the same time closed. The operation of both of the pistons supplies in this way a constant stream of water. The rods of these two pistons are made with a joint in them2 or three feet below the crank which are to be lengthened according to the depth of the wheel in which they are to be used.

6th. The pump is worked by a double crank, N. The crank shaft is made of a rod of iron of an in. in diameter the elbows of the crank are 2i in. long describing a circle of 4 in. in diameter when turned. The crank shaftV is constructed in such a manner as when one elbow is perpendicular,-

the other lies horizontally. The tops of the piston rods are fastened to the cranks, the

:top of each piston rod should be large 8th.V The whole length of the cylinder` must be immersed in water to operate well.

The inventor designs this pump to be used as a suction as well as a force pump by aifixing to the vends of the receiving valves a pipe of sufficient size to supply the requisite quantity of water; which pipe Ymaybe extended perpendicularly, horizontally or.

in any other required direction.

The improvement claimed by the subscriber and desired to'be securedby Letters Patentis A The above construction of the valve boXes in combination with a double pump barrel constructed substantially as above described. y
